=== UX Comment ===

As per the design specification for the new notification system:
(http://bit.ly/1P70Dkb)

- In general, applications can fire only one notification at a time, but
multiple applications can fire their notification simultaneously. All
notifications should be treated as if they are in a queue and will be
handled sequentially according to their fire time (in a FIFO manner).

- Grouping notifications from the same app in the notification centre
and lock screen:

*If a notification of a certain type is already pending in the queue (not fired 
yet) when an app tries to send a new notification, they will be combined into a 
summary notification for that app.
*When the phone is locked, if a summary notification is already displayed on 
the lock screen and when a new notification from the same app arrives, the 
number displayed on the secondary icon will change to the correct count (detail 
text will change accordingly). 
*Therefore, the notification bubble should be discarded from the queue and 
never displayed as a single bubble in normal usage. Same behaviour applies to 
the notification centre.

======

@jonas-drange, you mentioned that when you get 4 gmail notifications
without clearing any, the 3rd and 4th notification will only emit a
beep. So I understand that this bug is not only related with the screen
being locked but also with the number of notifications that are in the
queue?

My suggestion is that the grouping of notifications should not be
dependant on the number of them but rather on the conditions listed
above, otherwise, each notification should be displayed individually.

I'm happy to discuss this further.
